| Asthma is characterized by airway hyperreactivity, inflammation, and atopy. |
| Diagnosing canine atopy can be done through skin tests and blood tests and extracts can be made for injection to hyposensitize. |
| Our findings indicate that children at risk for atopy react sensitively to chemical substances that originate from passive smoking. |
| With this in mind, a combination of Phadiatop and the most common food allergens is recommended when testing children for atopy. |
| All patients in the asthma group reported a history of atopy, and four patients reported a history of exercise-induced bronchospasm. |
